Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) president Rep. Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino has remained in France to iron out in earnest the country’s campaign for next year’s Olympics.
The reason for his enthusiasm and passion? The Philippines marks 100 years of participation in the Olympics in 2024 and, even more significantly, it will again be in Paris.

France3, one of France Television Group’s regional channels, RL or the Le Républicain Lorrain and Letz Go Metz were among the French media who diligently covered the ceremony.
